Is having a mountain bike helmet worth getting when you have a good motocross helmet already?

okay, so here's my delema, my motocross helmet seems like it is just a little too cumbersome for when I'm riding my mountain bike, so I've been looking into a full face MTB helmets such as the lightweight carbon fiber ones that weigh just about 2lbs whereas my motocross helmet weighs 3.6lbs. So if any avid mountain bikers that could help me out before I possibly go spend upwards of one to two hundred dollars that I didn't need to spend. Thanks

It's your head, and it's the only one you're going to get. So do whatever makes you comfortable.

I see people riding my local trail, which is pretty much flat, with full-face helmets on and that's fine if that's what they feel comfortable with. I also see people wearing woolie hats, and that's just stupid.

Me, I ride with something inbetween - either a Fox Flux or a Nutcase, depending on my mood. The Nutcase is just like the one in the pic below, except mine's autographed by Gary Fisher :)

Ha kook

i wanna buy helmet for riding all around the mountain.
but i want its capacity and weigh be not too heavy,
can DH helmet for mountain bike and off road motorcycle helmet for mountain be used for crossed way? i mean if i ride a bike on the mountain wearing the off road motorcycle helmet, can it be too heavy or out of capacity.

if the motor and bike helmet size are same, is it about to equal the capacity and weigh ?

Answer
Nowadays motorcycle helmets are quite light and you can comfortably use an off-road motorcycle helmet for mountain biking.
